The Prevent Youth Suicide Act aims to enhance the safety and mental well-being of students in grades 6 through 12 by establishing mandatory protocols for suicide prevention, postvention, and trauma-informed care in schools. The main objective is to create a supportive environment that identifies and addresses mental health issues among students, ultimately reducing the incidence of youth suicide. Key provisions of the Act require the Secretary of Education to implement rules that schools must follow to receive federal funding.
